Title: Social norms in Singapore ?
Post by: Risa on Aug 31, 2024, 11:54 AM
Anyone has a list of social norms in Singapore ?

Doing anything outside of this list will raise eyebrows from others.

Most irritating things boomer does sure raise eyebrows but now w mostly outsiders
No more sg norms
I get surprised by outsiders everyday

Spitting at public walk paths into grass

Talking loudly in msia tone on public spaces but now most r msians at my area

Sit at a space where ppl alr choped w something

Asking street  after u tell them e post code

Don't know raffles mrt vs Raffles City

Say I later buy pohzhua

This are pet peeves rather than social norms

To add on,

Ppl stopping in the middle of walkway, in front of escalator and mrt gantry

Ppl too engrossed in hp and dun look at where they are going


The raffles city and raffles place mrt is quite true but sometimes the naming of places is also quite confusing nowadays

Esplanade mrt dun stop at Esplanade theater just to name one
